Chapter 493 Ultraman Transformation Stick Activated!
"Anyway, your Li Family Toy Factory is also on it."
When Li Jiajun saw this message, he froze. His finger holding the phone hovered in mid-air, and his brows furrowed.
On it? On what? His mind was a mess.
Before he could think too much, the other party sent another message: "Check the news quickly."
Immediately after, another sentence popped up on the screen: "Your Li Family Toy Factory is also on the Country A military-industrial enterprise list."
As his eyes swept across these words, Li Jiajun's eyes widened bit by bit, and his breathing suddenly stalled. Seeing this message, he instantly understood what the other party meant by "on it."
...
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly exited the WeChat interface. His thumb swiped across the screen, and he immediately opened the Social Media Platform.
As soon as he entered the Social Media Platform, he saw the number one trending search. The title of this trending search was: [Country A's military-industrial enterprise list has been updated again]
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his fingers trembling slightly. When he clicked into the trending topic and his gaze swept over the long announcement image released by the official media, he stood there dumbfounded, stunned like a wooden chicken.
It turned out that Country A had just updated its military-industrial enterprise list. On that long sanction list stamped with the Dead Corner Building seal, his Li Family Toy Factory had now taken the top spot, even pushing the originally first-ranked 370 Group down!
Below the news image, the ins and outs were detailed. The reason was very simple: Country A had investigated the machine that painted the fake fighter jets and confirmed it was a product of the Li Family Toy Factory.
This matter was easy to investigate. After all, Country A's colonel had previously intercepted that Bird-repelling machine in the desert. At the time, they didn't understand it, but now the truth was out. With a simple connection, they naturally figured out it was his Li Family Toy Factory.
...
Looking at the words about the painting machine and the camouflaged fighter jets in the news, Li Jiajun finally realized belatedly: That's right! That bastard Hassan bought my Bird-repelling machine at the very beginning!
He recalled the other party's excuse at the time, saying something about crops needing bird repellent. 'Crops?' 'Those were fighter jets parked on the Gobi Desert!' 'Pest birds?' 'Those were the joint bomber Joint Task Force of Country A and Israel!' Such a thought emerged in Li Jiajun's mind.
All the clues in his mind connected. Damn it. He deceived me! It turned out that the birds he was talking about were the joint Joint Task Force of Country A and Israel. Li Jiajun was so angry he gritted his teeth, feeling speechless to the extreme.
...
Meanwhile, the comments under this trending search were growing at an exponential rate. The onlookers across the entire internet were boiling over. Li Jiajun scrolled down the screen, and the first highly-liked comment popped up.
"Holy crap, if I remember correctly, a few days ago, Factory Director Li took a business deal from Little Chicken Wallpaper and even said he made an automatic car-painting Bird-repelling machine. At the time, I thought those two would be fine, but now look at this."
Immediately following were replies in a queue. "Awesome, Factory Director Li is awesome." "Haha, I knew Factory Director Li would be a zhenghuobloggger and couldn't stop." "Hahaha, that means the top two on this military-industrial enterprise list are both related to Factory Director Li."
Looking at the replies under the trending search, the corners of Li Jiajun's mouth twitched repeatedly. The muscles on both sides of his cheeks were almost cramping. And it wasn't just under this trending search. At this moment, his TikTok was frantically popping up private messages. The red dot number in the top right corner of the inbox showed it was completely full.
He opened the private message list, and all kinds of teasing words rushed at him. "Give it up, walk the straight path, Factory Director Li. Look, this time you clearly invented an agricultural Bird-repelling machine, but it went off track again." "Factory Director Li, you are just a zhenghuobloggger, don't struggle anymore." "Factory Director Li, may I ask how you feel about two companies related to you being on the military-industrial enterprise list?"
Looking at these private messages, Li Jiajun was messed up in the wind, slumped in his chair, feeling incredibly aggrieved. He clearly just wanted to be a toy maker for the people. Why did these things always happen?
...
It wasn't over yet. Misfortunes never come singly. At this time, the incoming call ringtone rang. The name "Liu Jianguo, Uncle Liu" danced on the screen. His heart tightened. He took a deep breath, braced himself, pressed the answer button, and put the phone to his ear.
As soon as the call connected, the first thing Liu Jianguo, Uncle Liu said was: "Sigh, Li, what am I supposed to say about you? Can't you just honestly make toys? Besides, even if you're not making proper toys, at least make them high-tech so we can requisition them. This Bird-repelling machine of yours can't be requisitioned."
Hearing the voice from the receiver, Li Jiajun was stunned. Because he discovered that when Liu Jianguo, Uncle Liu was saying these things, his tone carried a bit of ease, and he seemed to be in a quite good mood.
The reason was very simple. After all, every invention previously had been too high-tech. After causing trouble, Uncle Liu had to go and requisition them personally. Every time, he had to be on pins and needles. This was what gave Liu Jianguo the biggest headache.
Although a big incident had been caused this time, making a fool of Country A's Air Force, the essence of that painting machine was just a spray painting device. There was no military-grade technology to reverse-engineer. Therefore, he didn't need to run over there; he could just sit safely in his office and drink tea.
...
Hearing the schadenfreude in the other party's words, click! Li Jiajun hung up the phone directly, threw the phone on the desk, then leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
These people were all bastards. He was already so unlucky, saddled with such a huge scapegoat, yet no one came to comfort him. The netizens were watching the joke, just like this bastard Uncle Liu, who even called to kick him while he was down. He felt a wave of loneliness and coldness.
...
And at this moment, ding-dong! The phone screen on the desk lit up. His WeChat received a message. Li Jiajun sighed, picked up the phone, unlocked it, and clicked into the chat interface.
It was that familiar brat profile picture. [Long Aoao]: Uncle Li, I saw the news. Don't be discouraged. I believe you can become a toy maker for the people. This time it was just an accident. Let us join hands and move forward together. Starting with the Ultraman Transformation Wand, begin your path as a toy maker for the people, Uncle Li.
Seeing this WeChat message, Li Jiajun was stunned. Staring at the words "I believe in you," at this moment, his heart was filled with emotion. His eyes were hot, and his nose even felt a bit sore. He didn't expect that at a time like this, when the whole world was teasing him, the only person to comfort him was actually a child.
